Testo Where Were You [American Idol Performance] - Scotty McCreery
Testo della canzone Where Were You [American Idol Performance] (Scotty McCreery), tratta dall'album American Idol Season 10: Scotty McCreery
Where were you
When the world stopped turnin'
On that September day?
Out in the yard
With your wife and children
Workin' on some stage in LA?
Did you stand there in shock
At the sight of that black smoke
Risin' against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger
And fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
Or pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people
Who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out in pride
For the red, white, and blue
And the heroes who died
Just doing what they do?
Did you look up to Heaven
For some kind of answer
And look at yourself
And what really matters?
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure
I could tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
But the greatest is love
Where were you
When the world stopped turnin'
On that September day?
Teachin' a class
Full of innocent children
Or drivin' down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty
'Cause you're a survivor?
In a crowded room, did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother
And tell her you love her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes
Hope it never happened
Or close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset
The first time in ages
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night
And think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off
That violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?
Did you go to the church
And hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home
And cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure
I could tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
But the greatest is love
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
But the greatest is love
But the greatest is love
But the greatest is love
Where were you
When the world stopped turnin'
On that September day?
